Bob Strandwold Racing teammates Dave Byrd and Craig Raudman thought they had prepared for everything that they would need to conquer All American Speedway and the highly competitive SRL teams that are competing there this weekend in a special two day show. What they had no control over was, the rainy California weather that wreaked havoc on opening day.  

The Flashco SRL Southwest Tour Series postponed the qualifying that was previously scheduled for Friday until Saturday, due to intermittent rain showers that essentially plagued practice on Friday also.

“Several times today things were looking up, then we would fire the engines and it would start raining!” Byrd laughed. “It really would have been comical, if there wasn’t so much at stake. Bob Strandwold, my car owner, and our great marketing partners have invested too much for us to just be standing around, but what are you going to do?” Byrd lamented.

Dave, Craig and the entire Bob Strandwold Racing team will be back at it again on Saturday, condensing it all into a one day show.
